I actually do like the deep structure. 200 might be a little much, but paying 1/4 of the field sounds like a great idea. The 1M top prize is top heavy (as is almost every tourney, but what can you do. The organizers always want to be able to advertize a huge payday). My preference would be to redistribute about $400-500K from the top three spots to the remainder of the winners.

The depth of the structure would definitely encourage me to give this a shot next year, by trying some of the qualifying satellites.
